GCF plays vital role in mobilising finance for climate action: Mahmoud Mohieldin
Published in Daily News Egypt on 12 - 07 - 2023

Mahmoud Mohieldin, UN Climate Change High Level Champion for Egypt, UN Special Envoy on Financing 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda and Replenishment Facilitator of the Green Climate Fund (GCF), has stated that the second replenishment process (GCF-2) is gaining momentum among potential contributors and beneficiaries alike. He also noted that the process is catching the attention of the international community as one of the most important processes to mobilise finance for climate action.
Mohieldin made these remarks during his participation in the 36th meeting of the GCF board that took place in South Korea. He highlighted that many European countries have shown commitment to contribute to the Fund's replenishment process as an important tool to stimulate climate finance. This reflects their serious commitment to global climate action and multilateralism.
Mohieldin also reported that the second consultative meeting of the GCF-2, which was held last April, witnessed in-depth and intensive discussions among participants on the policy of contributions. Participants in the meeting were also informed of the early pledges made by the Czech Republic and Austria for the replenishment of the Fund, which were followed by pledges from Germany and Monaco in the last couple of months. He thanked these member states for their commitment to the Green Climate Fund and the broader climate action agenda.
Mohieldin further explained that during the last period, he held meetings with officials of a number of institutions and multilateral development banks, including the Islamic Development Bank. These meetings were fruitful and resulted in discussions on development partnership and cooperation with the private sector. He also held meetings with COP28 UAE officials in which they discussed enhancing climate finance.
The climate champion added that he used his participation in the spring meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, as well as the Bonn Climate Conference and the Paris Summit for a New Global Financial Pact, to support the replenishment of the Green Climate Fund. He also stated that he will continue to give the process momentum during upcoming regional and international events, and work on increasing contributors from countries that can help financing climate action and beneficiaries from the most needy countries.
Mohieldin concluded by stating that the GCF-2 will receive special attention during this year's UN General Assembly with many countries announcing their commitments and pledges to climate action. He expressed his confidence that the GCF plays a vital and distinctive role in financing global climate action, and that this role can be maximised by paying attention to the regional presence of the fund, enhancing the positive socioeconomic impact of climate action, raising level of cooperation and partnership with the private sector, and enhancing communication with actors, stakeholders and potential partners.
